Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle 04/27/2023
1.5/5
What may be most disappointing here is that it's another wasted role for [Dolph] Lundgren as Anders, the elder statesman muscle of the heroes. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 04/25/2023
It’s an unambitious Die Hard clone with likable actors, aimed at audiences looking for something adequate. Go to Full Review

I don’t have a lot of nice things to say about The Best Man. It isn’t very good. Go to Full Review

The Best Man is also just as much about the authentic, life-like friendships between Harper and the rest of his college circle... Go to Full Review

I think the viewers who would best enjoy such a trifle are the rabid fans of Dolph Lundgren, who would see anything he's in. Go to Full Review

08/06/2024 Action movie has no action for at least a quarter of the time. I can’t finish watching it. See more 07/10/2024 what a waste of talent for Dolph and Luke. See more Paul J. Q @Highhatsize 05/31/2024 Incredibly dumb. One of those movies that's painful to watch and on the cusp of being so bad as to be memorable - - - but not quite. The actors are fine (although there was clearly a budgetary limit on "takes") but the script is nonsensical. The characters take actions that no rational person would take in order to set up "dramatic", clichéd confrontations. This is what you get when the writer, director, and producer are all the same guy. (At least he paid for some talent. [For their sakes, I hope he paid a lot.]) See more Terri D 05/26/2024 Can't even imagine why anyone wanted to make this film, let alone watch it! See more Gen X 04/29/2024 So disappointing even with all the popular stars in it. The first half of the movie is atrociously boring. There is no tension or mysteries or twists with the characters or plot or setting or weapons. It is, after all, an action movie. But the action is so slow and rote and uninspired, it's hard to believe these characters were actually in the military. The villains were one-dimensional and lackluster. I'm mad at Hulu for actually purchasing this film. I enjoyed "Shotgun Wedding" more, even though it was an action comedy with the same plot - armed gunmen take wedding guests hostage. I wish I hadn't wasted my time on this movie. See more 04/12/2024 Absolutely horrendous See more Read all reviews
